TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known-thet- LMELv'm-JiNcKs, of Dnnsville, in the county of Livingston, and State of New York, have invented certain new andnseful Improvements in Lump-Burners; and I do hereby declare that the following is at full, clear, and exact description thereof, refcreneebeinglied to the aceompanyingdrwwings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,,which form a part of this specification, in which b Figure 1 represents e pl'an view,- with the cone removed.

Figure 2, sectional view of the same.

Figure 3, a. plan showing thecone' in place; and

Figure 4 a. side elevation of my invention,

The nature of this invention consists in constructing n l'nmp-burner so that it ninybeadopted to-(lifferenta sized or styleof chimneys, the same being effected by the rneuns substantially as hereinafter set forth,

To enable others skilled in the art to make and employ my invention, I'will xiowdescribeits' construction and operation; I

A represents the burner, provided with a platform, perforated, as shown in fig. I. Said platform is also furnished with holes, old, as' seen in fig. 1, the, object of which will be more fully apparent hereafter.

b 6 5 designate three metal springs formedinto two ports, as shown in fig. 4, and sliding back and forth in recesses or slots'c'oa, made in the platform of the burner. The lower ends of these sprin s are turned. up

through slots in saidpletformnnd are secured therein hy-i'nenus of cap pieces or nuts, so that the springs may be adjusted to' suit the size of the'chimney. These springs, it will be observed, are soconstructed or shaped that when the chinineyis' inserted between them, they will instnntly'clesp it, -end. securely hold it in place.

Bdesignutes the cone, w hich isfurnishedut its outer edges, ori'the under side, with catches or notched projections, a a a,-formed as seen in fig 2. Said projections are made to fit in the recesses or holes, dd, in the platform of the burner, end', by means Qf-seid Projections, the cone can 'be"easily removed when it is desired to clean the burner. I

e e e designate threespr'ing-clips, which sre secureme't one end,.to the under side of the cone, and, passing up through apertures, ff, in said 'c'one, er e bent so as to hold the chimney securely in place. One of these clips is formed with a flange or projection, h, which, when pushed back. willf'enable'the chimney to be inserted between. said clips,

Thus it will be seen, by the for'egoin g, th'at*I con-ncconimodnto 'my arrangement to ehimneysef different sizes or. styles, and also furnish useeure'metliod of keeping the-chininey in place.

Having thusfully described my invention, whet I elaimhs new, and desireL to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1 The sliding springs or holders lib, for the purpose of sdjusting the snmeto diflerent sizes of chimneys, substantially as described:

2. In combination with the above, I claim the burner A, cone B, spring-clips a e e, and flange or knob h, s

when all are construetedend arranged substnntinllyin the manner and for the purpose set forth.-

In testimony that'I claim the foregoingns niy own,I afiix mysiguature in presence of two witnesses.
